Norwich City and Republic of Ireland star Andrew Omobamidele has been linked with a sensational move to European giants AC Milan.
The Telegraph in the UK reports that Norwich have slapped a €20 million price-tag on their star defender as they aim to rebuild their squad ahead of next season.
Milan could face competition for the Leixlip native's signature from French Ligue 1 side Nice, who are also thought to be interested in the six times capped Ireland centre-half.

Omobamidele’s representatives, Elite Project Group, have a number of Ligue 1 players on their books including Nice striker Terem Moffi.
A move to Milan would bolster and already burgeoning Irish contingent in the Irish capital, with Cork youngster Cathal Heffernan under contract with the Rossoneri.
Milan have taken a gamble on young defenders in the past, most recently picking up Fikayo Tomori from Chelsea for £25 million in 2021.
Omobamidele has made 34 appearances for Norwich this season and has captained the sides in recent weeks.
The Canaries hopes of returning to the Premier League at the first time of asking were extinguished by an untimely run of poor form.
